Saturday, 01 JUNE 2024 | PNS | DEHRADUN

The 74 day long campaign for the 18th Lok Sabha elections which ended on Thursday witnessed the emergence of Uttarakhand chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami as one of the key campaigners for the ruling BJP.  Dhami addressed more than 60 public meetings and took part in a large number of road shows for the party candidates in different states of the country. Along with Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath, Dhami was one of the most sought after CM in the BJP camp.

In Uttarakhand, the elections were held for five LS seats in the first phase on April 19. CM Dhami addressed 100 public meetings and road shows in all parts of Uttarakhand in support of the BJP candidates in all the five Lok Sabha constituencies.  After the end of elections in the State, CM Dhami was extensively used by the BJP in different parts of the State. In what can be a record for any CM of the State in the past, Dhami addressed more than 60 elections meetings in 10 States of the country.  He held road shows and addressed public meetings in support of BJP candidates in Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Telangana, Maharashtra, Haryana, Delhi and union territory of Chandigarh.

His public meetings generated a very good public response which increased his demand in many parts of the country. The decision of Dhami to implement the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in Uttarakhand endeared him to a major section of the society. The BJP leadership has promised that it will implement UCC in the entire country. The legislation of Uttarakhand on UCC is expected to be the template for similar code in the country. Apart from UCC, the decisions of Dhami government on enacting stringent anti-copying act and religious conversion created a positive image of Uttarakhand CM in the country. His action against what he termed as Land Jihad in the State also made him a poster boy of Hindutva in the country. 

Dhami said that the extreme enthusiasm shown by the people in the election campaign has made it clear that the faith they have in Prime Minister Narendra Modi is unflinching. The people of the country have made up their minds to make Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of the country for the third consecutive term.
